Hi Kaiti,

Already Salesforce prevents you from filling in a Date that is in the wrong format. If your org has dates in the format (MM/DD/YYY) and you attempt to put in 30 April 1900 as (30/04/1900) you will get an error, and you will be forbidden.

But if you attempt to put 5 April 1900 as (05/04/1900) then Salesforce will accept the data, even though it is not the appropriate date. There is no validation rule that could fix this issue, as there is no problem with data entry itself.

Hi,

We cannot create validation rule to check that a date field is displayed in the following format? (MM/DD/YYYY).
Because salesforce store the date in the format (MM/DD/YYYY) so we can't able to create validation rule for this.
